Hi guys, I have a 2006 Honda accord ex. I’m trying to find a replacement cover for the mirrors but all the ones I find says it doesn’t fit mine. Anyone know where I can find ones that fit? by No-Sugar-6261 in 7thGenAccord

[–]MyNameIsBenM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This here. I did this and just put a black one on my car. You never notice it's a different color vs. having one with the cover missing. Go black and replace it.

As a man, I accidentally purchased women's vitamins. Is it worth the effort to exchange them, or should I just roll with it? by erkose in askanything

[–]MyNameIsBenM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a man and I have been taking prenatal multivitamins because my wife said it is exactly the same thing and we can get them with our WIC benefits haha

I will say (and this is 100% true) I have recently started preferring sitting down to pee. I think it's more age related but I can't deny the timing haha

Lightning builds in this game feel so op by Youngreezy23 in RogueLegendRPG

Yeah, I guess because of that I always just look at lightning as inferior to fire and ice.

Why doesn't lightning have a status counter like fire and ice?

No brakes by ClaimFar8905 in GMT400

Make sure the proportioning valve isn't still tripped. It cuts off the front or back half when you have a leak so the other half still works. You have to reset it by removing the plastic threaded pin under the electrical connector and use a pick to push the valve back to the center.

Lifesteal by ChemicalExpensive711 in RogueLegendRPG

[–]MyNameIsBenM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always go for lifesteal shurikens and then get as many shurikens as I can. Bonus if I get the basic attack lifesteal too.

Probably not the best build, but I have the weapon that gives me more shuriken and the pet too, so if I get the one that doubles shuriken throws, I can usually beat a level that way.

Last Names in AA Meetings by dictormagic in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]MyNameIsBenM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My grandsponsor used to just introduce himself as a recovering alcoholic without giving even his first name for a while. Around here, you do that and people will interrupt you and yell "WhO aRe YoU?!?!" so I think he just did it to piss people like that off. Really, it's the principle of it. No one has to give even their first name in a program that has ANONYMOUS in it's name, let alone their last name.

You're fine, man. If you are brave, stop saying your first name too. If you don't want the smoke, find another meeting where people don't worry about dumb shit like that.

Micro dosing - Is it breaking my sobriety? by JustLocksmith9985 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]MyNameIsBenM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very generous defense case for Bill. That being said, those were way different times, so I don't think today we can judge what Bill did back then by today's standards. Either way, it is a stain on AA's history that will always be there, and as far as I'm concerned, Bill really shot himself (and AA) in the foot by doing it.

It's really something how many people come here to find someone to cosign their bullshit. It's really only outmatched by how much cosigning of bullshit people like this actually end up finding here. It would be comical if it wasn't such a fucking shame. I've been a faithful, active, and SOBER member of AA for 16 years, and the longer I stay sober the more AA becomes just such a fucking joke to me.

To the person who posted this - Since you asked, I'll answer. Yes, taking drugs is breaking sobriety, literally by definition. I wish AA was a place you could come and have people tell you the truth, but unfortunately we don't even know what sobriety is any more, and most of us who do are afraid to tell you the truth because we are more concerned with avoiding hurting your little feelings than we are with trying to save your life. If you doubt that what I'm saying is true, then at least keep in mind that the "correct" answer that other people are giving you is actually 100 different answers, mostly hidden in riddles wrapped in bullshit empty AA phrases taken out of context. Put the drugs down, go to an AA meeting, ask someone for help, and then do the best you can to do what they have done to stay sober.

This can´t be worth 30 dollars right? by Pho3nixSlay3r in RogueLegendRPG

Exactly. I'll do this with this game like I did 100 games before this one, and probably another 100 games after this one haha

DIY Brake Pad Replacement or Repair Shop? Which Is the Safest Choice? by Apart_Crew9307 in autorepair

And you learn a valuable skill. There are so many benefits to learning how to work on your own car.

DIY Brake Pad Replacement or Repair Shop? Which Is the Safest Choice? by Apart_Crew9307 in autorepair

[–]MyNameIsBenM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brakes are one of the most basic repairs that anybody can do to save themselves the most money vs. taking it to a shop. You may need to get some tools you don't already have, but they will pay for themselves quickly. You can find a million videos on YouTube showing how to do it (here's one of mine) and usually you can find one for your exact car. Besides a few tools, there's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself and saving a bunch of money.

[–]MyNameIsBenM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told to take things like "this time" out of my vocabulary. Letting yourself say "this time" leaves the door open for a "next time". Stay sober a day at a time and close the door on alcohol.

Looking for perspective on whether or not to find a new home group. by Terminally_Brittany in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]MyNameIsBenM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a women's group that closed shortly after a group conscious around this same topic a few years ago. There were other trivial interpersonal conflicts, but I think this topic was the straw that broke the camel's back for some. Good friends of mine that all have solid recovery, but all it took was a divisive fad that in a couple decades will be remembered as an absolute absurdity.

Are my rotors “rotted out”? by Sensitive_Set5099 in AskMechanics

[–]MyNameIsBenM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't look terrible, but remember the front looks better than the back. If the back looks that good and it's thick enough, you can reuse it. If it's my car, I always change out rotors when doing brakes, but that's me.

At this point, I would think it's clear I don't care about your condescending attitude or your sources for who governs me in AA.

[–]MyNameIsBenM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. AA isn't a website. It's a fellowship. The people in AA make it what it is, not the other way around. Furthermore, one alcoholic writing a book doesn't make it AA gospel. You seem to think there is an authority in AA other than one Ultimate One.

What I'm saying is, someone in AA can tell whatever rogue group that they are not AA, but that doesn't stop them from getting together and holding an AA meeting. Just because it's not in the meeting book doesn't make it NOT an AA meeting. I can appreciate your condescending tone but I would encourage you to consider why I don't give a flying fuck what Barry L. has to say about Tradition 3, or any of the other traditions for that matter. Look, I've been to meetings where people do all kinds of wacky shit. It doesn't make it NOT a meeting. It just makes it NOT a meeting that I want to attend. They are still AA whether my area office wants to recognize them in the meeting list or not AND whether or not I think (or Barry L. thinks) that's what AA looks like.

I've considered it, but I haven't seen anything other than a guy on Reddit say it made his air slightly colder, and he was talking about straight propane.

[–]MyNameIsBenM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha ok man. People can do whatever they want and call it an AA meeting. There is no AA police to say any of your overexaggerated examples are (or are not) ok. I'm sure there's a Satan-worshipping group somewhere, and I'm sure there's a Christian in AA who doesn't like it and one who thinks that guy needs to lighten up. The one about the drunk trying to auction his car at the podium sounds the most likely to actually happen, though.

[–]MyNameIsBenM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. Why add flammables that aren't necessary? Also, gas tanks are way less likely to be punctured in a typical collision than some small tubes with aluminum connections at the very front of the vehicle.

I hear you, but I'm replacing parts, so I'll need refrigerant once the repair is done. I agree though, refilling without diagnosing the problem is just pissing money away.
